It was a beautiful day and Jan was getting awfully bored holed up in the hotel all the time. Nobody had ever attacked or bothered him in all the time he'd gone out to practice shooting and Benjamin had assured him that he was perfectly safe. Most likely nobody would ever know, if he took a very early, very short walk.
But what was that? Another immortal approaching from behind? Was it Benjamin that wanted to join him, or ...
Jan whirled around and saw the very person he was most scared of running after him! His hand shot into his pocket for his gun, but then he noticed that McLeod wasn't holding his sword and he hesitated to pull it out. Instead he just stopped with his hand on the gun waiting for his attacker to catch up and hoping that Dawson wasn't hiding behind a tree nearby.
Duncan felt the Buzz as he jogged down the trail. Moments later, the twitchy immortal who had taken his and Methos' practice bout so very seriously came in sight.
"Hey!" Duncan called and waved as the other man stopped and waited for him. "Nice mornng, isn't it?"
"Good morning," Jan returned stiffly. Nice morning? Well, it had been until a moment ago. "You're out early." He made it sound like a statement rather than a question.
Duncan jogged up to the other immortal and slowed to a halt.
"I tend to," he said. "It's nice an' quiet in the early morn' and nothin' wakes a guy up quite as well as a good run in fresh air. Early bird yerself?"
Dressed in a tight-fitting t-shirt and running pants, Duncan wasn't quite sure why the other immortal still seemed to apprehensive. One, they were still on holy ground. Two, he couldn't have hidden a sword anywhere if he'd wanted to in his current state of dress.
